Book 5: The Mysterious EnemySteve has finally located Herobrine. In the depths of a Nether fortress, his friend is at the bottom of a drained pool. Just what exactly is going on?

Herobrine tells Steve of a Minecraft user who isn’t content with just playing the game normally. They want Herobrine’s and Steve’s power all to themselves and will do anything to get it. That includes kidnapping Herobrine and hacking the game!

Steve knows that he must put a stop to such a threat before people have their game ruined and blame Herobrine.

Yet it is easier said than done. The two of them find it is not so easy to get out of the clutches of the foe who is trying to control Minecraft. Their journey takes them from the Nether to a water temple to the depths of the jungle.

Mark Mulle is a passionate Minecraft gamer who writes game guides, short stories, and novels about the Minecraft universe. He has been exploring, building, and fighting in the game ever since its launch, and he often uses in-game experiences for inspiration on creating the best fiction for fellow fans of the game.

He works as an English teacher and splits his time between gaming, reading, and storytelling, three hobbies and lifelong passions that he attributes to a love of roleplaying, a pursuit of challenging new perspectives, and a visceral enjoyment the vast worlds that imagination has to offer. His favorite thing to do, after a long day of creating worlds both on and off the online gaming community, is to relax with his dog, Herobrine, and to unwind with a good book.

His favorite authors include Stephen King, Richard A. Knaak, George R. R. Martin, and R. A. Salvatore, whose fantasy works he grew up reading or is currently reading. Just like in Minecraft, Mark always strives to level up, so to speak, so that he can improve his skills and continue to surprise his audience. He prefers to play massive multiplayer online games but often spends time in those games fighting monsters one on one and going solo against the toughest mobs and bosses he can manage to topple. In every game, his signature character build is a male who focuses mostly on crafting weapons and enchanting, and in every battle, he always brings a one hander sword and a shield with as much magical attributes as he can pour into them.

Because he always plays alone, he likes to use his game guides to share all the secrets and knowledge he gains, and who know—he may have snuck some information into his fiction as well. Keep an eye out for his next book!
